Re: X-capable mail reader
Hi folks - couldn't find Stephen's original message in my folder, so pardon the indirect reply. [EMAIL PROTECTED] sez: : Stephen Currently I'm using xmh and it's just not cutting the 200+ : Stephen emails I see a day. I like the MH features, I just need : Stephen multiple inboxes, which it doesn't do :( : I use Gnus, the Emacs mail/news reader. It handles large amounts of : mail very nicely. : Gnus can sort incoming mail into different folders (aka groups). Hi Stephen, I'm seeing an average of 200 to 300 mails a day myself - there are a few different ways to handle sorting and suchlike. GNUS has a lot of nice things about it, though I don't think it does any sorting functions for MH mail. (correct me if I'm mistaken here) Though, the nnmh method works quite well if you have an external mail sorting app (such as procmail). I haven't tried GNUS/nnmh with slocal, so I can't speak to that. Exmh is worth looking into also. Besides having a prettier (tcl/tk based) interface than xmh it provides a lot of advanced features, including sorting mail into multiple inboxes on inc. (Look for inc styles presort, multidrop or presortmulti under Incorporate Mail in the Preferences dialog.) Other cool things about exmh: Easy handling of nested folders, good PGP and MIME support, RichText mail, X-Face support, scans for URI's in message body and X-URL headers and launching a w3 browser accordingly, provides handy UI for MH pick and for searching all mails in all folders with Glimpse, etc. Cheers, - Mark Powers - living inside the system is like riding through the countryside in a bus driven by a maniac bent on suicide. - Thomas Pynchon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I haven't tried GNUS/nnmh with slocal, mark so I can't speak to that. [...] I'm unsure about the meaning of sorting functions. If this means sorting different mails into different folders depending on their headers, then Gnus can do that easily. If this means affecting the order of displaying messages, that can be done, too, but it is fairly slow. Example for former meaning of mail sorting with Gnus: ;; slightly edited (setq nnmail-split-methods (list (list auto.bbdb x-Loop:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (list auto.ctwm sender:.*owner-ctwm) (list auto.ding \\(to\\|cc\\):[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (list auto.ding \\(to\\|cc\\):[EMAIL PROTECTED]) (list auto.debian \\(to\\|cc\\|x-loop\\):.*debian-\\(user\\|changes\\)) (list auto.debian-doc \\(to\\|cc\\|x-loop\\):.*debian-\\(doc\\|book-discussion\\)) (list auto.fvwm sender:.*owner-fvwm) (list mail.misc ))) This means, that mail with the specified X-Loop header goes in the auto.bbdb folder, mails sent by owner-ctwm goes in auto.ctwm and so on. All mail that doesn't match anything else goes in mail.misc. I just use the simple mechanism, there is a fancy mechanism, too, which can do all kinds of things. Such as putting some mail into several groups. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.

Currently I'm using xmh and it's just not cutting the 200+ emails I see a day. I like the MH features, I just need multiple inboxes, which it doesn't do :( Well, let start praising our favorite mail readers. Mine is not pine but Mutt. It threads, has nice coloring, let's you select and save debian lists in special folders, reads every kind of mailbox format, mbox, mh and what else lives out there. It handles MIME, can PGP ... Well, the only thing: It is text based. If you really want clickable buttons and such, you have to look somewhere else. There exists a mutt-debian package in unstable, but it depends on libc6 which I don't have installed yet, so I compiled my own version. No problems here, and it never crashed on me. -- Yours, Frank Barknecht -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

The latest unstable version is 2.0delta. I don't know if it's in /debian/project/experimental yet. I would recommend it over 1.6.9. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I personally think that an editor is a natural place to be to do mail, which consists mostly of editing text (and moving messages around, which Emacs does well). As for multiple mailboxes, I *think* that's in the the range of MH's extensive capabilities. If not, use procmail to sort mail before MH ever sees it! -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
